What’s Your Fantasy?

CONFESSION TIME: I love me some dirty rap. 🎶 Oh yes, I mean my white girl booty can get down and Christina Agularia style diiiiiirrrty with Ludacris, Nikki Minaj, and some WOP when the mood strikes. (If you’re with me on this, please let me know 🙌🏼) One of my fave’s is Ludacris' “What’s Yo’ Fantasy,” I mean whooooo, baby it’s already sending off the dopamine secretion in my body. (Yes, that is a real thing...just THINKING about a song that gets you in the mood will trigger the dopamine in your brain.) Discover motivation by pleasure and tap into your reign.

Bad Pain vs. Good Pain

Oh it hurts so good - you know the feeling - when you’re totally crushing it in the gym. You push that extra mile. You do that ONE, LAST rep. You do 10X more sit ups because you’re just in the freaking zone. That is what we call good pain. Good pain comes from growth. It comes from that depth of soul, of your personal power, when you lean courageously in to go that extra mile. And it doesn’t just show up in the gym. I see it all the time in my client’s businesses.

There are moments worthy of puffy eyes, release, pain, struggle, triumph, challenge, championship, figuring it out, and all the above combined into the span of 90 seconds sometimes. But it is in those moments of crashing, burning, finding, releasing, allowing that allows for all the pieces to come together. Discover your resilience and tap into your reign.

Unwinding the Body of Racism

Since restrictions are slowly, systematically lifting in Australia three weeks ago, I have received exactly three massages. Yes, nearly a massage a week. Spoiled. Spoiled. Spoiled. And 100% okay with it. This past Sunday, when Hymy was working on my lower back and butt, she noticed something, something that I had never really paid attention to... As a former Pilates instructor, I know you’ve got a lot of muscles in your butt. You’ve got the big bad boys that everyone knows about - gluteus maximus, medius, and minimus. But then, underneath those, there are five other smaller muscles, like your piriformis, and obturator externus, and other funny-sounding Latin ones that make you sound like a smarty-pants when you say them.
